2014 Vauxhall Mokka 1.6L Petrol · FE64 GXM

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance history indicates a worsening trend regarding deferred repairs on mechanical components. The most recent test in May 2026 at 79,802 miles identified a severely deteriorated nearside front lower suspension arm ball joint dust cover alongside pitted and scored both rear brake discs. This follows a recurring pattern of suspension issues noted in 2024 at 65,501 miles, suggesting that the owner is failing to address preventative maintenance until components approach failure. The mileage pattern is consistent with a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 6,650 miles per year. There is a steady progression of roughly 8,000 miles between June 2025 and May 2026, and approximately 6,500 miles between the 2024 and 2025 tests. While the usage level suggests regular driving, the failure in June 2023 at 59,362 miles due to poor parking brake efficiency indicates that the mechanical braking system was neglected prior to that annual inspection. A buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the front suspension, as the ball joint dust covers have appeared as repeat defects across multiple years. The persistent pitting and scoring on the rear brake discs noted in 2025 and 2026 indicate these components are nearing the end of their effective life and require replacement. Furthermore, the offside rear seat belt webbing flagged in 2024 should be checked for structural integrity, as fraying material represents a safety risk that has not been explicitly cleared in subsequent advisories.
